Missing change?

Three men go into a motel. They pay $30 for the room. Each man pays $10 before going to the room. The clerk then realizes that they were given only a $25 room, and sends the bellboy to the room with $5. The bellhop keeps $2 as a tip and each man gets $1 back, ending up paying only $9 for the room.

3 x $9 is $27

With the $2 the bellboy kept, that's only $29.




Where's the missing dollar?
